Earlier this year, I released Hell's Dark Riders--the first installment in the brand-new Old Greenesboro Trilogy, which serves as an Old West prequel to my classic The Coming Evil Trilogy. It was my plan to release the entire trilogy in 2025, and that work continues as, out today, is the second book in the Old Greenesboro Trilogy--Strange Gods!
Of all three books of this new trilogy, I think this second act was the hardest to put together. If you've read The Coming Evil Trilogy (and, if you haven't, what's stopping you?) there were quite a few off-handed references to events that took place during the Winter of 1884 in Old Greenesboro. Of course, at the time I made all those references, I never really thought I would ever come back and fully flesh out that history. So, when the time came to do just that, it was a wonderful challenge to stitch together all those disparate threads into a fresh tapestry, while also including as many surprises and twists as I could.
Therefore, I invite you to travel back to 1884, for the first Dark Hour, and witness firsthand the harrowing history that laid the foundation of The Coming Evil Trilogy.
As always, the book is available in print and on Kindle. Order your copy today!
ABOUT THE BOOK
The Dark Hour is here.
Winter, 1884.
Five years following his defeat of Hell’s Dark Riders, a new life of peace has at last found retired demon hunter Everett Greene. Far away from the wicked influence of the infernal City, Everett has settled his young family in the fledgling community of Greenesboro, where he hopes to raise his son away from the monsters and mayhem that he, himself, once battled.
But when the quiet town of Greenesboro is visited by a stranger promising prosperity, Everett senses that perhaps the evil he sought to leave behind has followed him, after all. The wealthy newcomer John Graves begins to poison the minds of the townspeople with a twisted religion, and soon Everett realizes that he will again have to face down the darkness.
Everett is joined in this endeavor by his friends - the young widow Virginia Hallerin and outlaw Dead Eye Reggie, among others. Each one is put to the test, challenging just how much they can stand to sacrifice and how long their faith can last against the cunning of Graves, who shows himself to be both more familiar and more terrible than any of them had expected.
Strange Gods is the middle act in an epic new tale that sets the stage for the events depicted in The Coming Evil Trilogy.
